A 42-year-old Redding man who tried to run away from police after allegedly chasing a woman in his 2014 Chevrolet Corvette from Redding to Anderson was arrested Monday night on suspicion of stalking and other criminal charges.

Marty Dupress Hilliard, who also threw a garbage can at a police officer during the chase, was jailed on suspicion of domestic violence, terrorist threats, resisting arrest, and attempting to elude a police officer, police said.

The strange chain of events began around 8:20 p.m., when the woman called police saying she was driving near Highway 273 and Canyon Road while trying to get away from Hilliard.

She said he had earlier assaulted her and was chasing her in his Corvette and tried to block her vehicle in the roadway, police said.

The woman, who said she feared for her life, drove to Anderson where police said they spotted him following her, police said.

Anderson police tried to pull him over, but he refused to do so and drove away at a high speed, police said.

Redding police said they made contact with the woman, and she told officers Hilliard had assaulted and threatened her and may have been in possession of firearms.

Police issued an alert for him and provided a description of his car to other law enforcement agencies.

Police said California Highway Patrol officers found the Corvette around 10 a.m., in the parking lot near the Sundial Bridge, but Hilliard was nowhere to be seen.

Officers, assisted by a CHP helicopter, conducted a neighborhood canvass and he was seen near Liberty and Trinity streets, police said.

Hilliard failed to obey orders from an officer and ran away, police said, adding officers set up a perimeter around the area and found him near East and Trinity streets.

Police said Hilliard continued to run from officers and threw a garbage can at one officer.
